New Delhi, Dec 22 (PTI): The enchanting North Eastern States of India has been caught on film by noted art historian and filmmaker Benoy Behl for his series of documentaries chronicling the life, culture, architecture and traditions of India.
The series on the Northeastern States - Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur and Tripura - is part of Behl's "Spectacular India" comprising 52 films that the historian is shooting for Doordarshan.
"I have travelled to the North East before. There are so many wonderful lessons to learn. For example in Nagaland we saw around 1000 different types of leaves that are not only edible but are quite delicious and nutritious. In the market place of Nagaland 50 percent of what is sold is forest produce," Behl who returned from a two-month shooting trip to the North East told PTI.
